First edition of my weekly Foodie Friday!Today's menu consisted of a rice and lentil recipe that I have made a few times for the family I nanny for but have never tried. It was simple to throw together, though does take about an hour and fifteen minutes in the oven but you can ignore it while it cooks. (Score!)Recipe :3c Reduced Sodium Chicken Broth3/4c Green Lentils1/2c Brown Rice1c Corn Kernels, frozen1c Celery, finely chopped1 Medium Onion, chopped1tsp Italian Seasoning1/4tsp Garlic, minced1c Cheese, grated1. Mix all ingredients, except cheese, in a baking dish2. Cover with foil and bake for 45m at 350F3. Remove foil, add cheese and bake for 10m.This made six portions but we each ate two portions and D ate one portion as a main. If you were adding chicken or something else along with it, it could easily be enough for six as a side.It's fabulous as a one dish meal that you can toss in the oven and forget about while you play with the kids or whatnot. You could spruce it up with more veggies or even chicken. And bonus : It freezes well, so you could make extra and then freeze for a quick meal!If you're looking for more recipes, don't forget to check out my recipe section here!

This sounds delicious and I love one dish meals. Going to be making this for sure. Thanks for the great recipe.

It's great! Let me know if you make any changes and how it turns out. I've already got this on the menu for next week so I can tweak it a bit more before I add it to my "tested and true" recipe section of my binder.!
